Dan anak anak kapal Portugis akan berteriak memanggil “Espanto del Mundo” terror dunia apabila berselisih dengan Geliung kepunyaan Sultan Iskandar Muda Acheh Anda boleh bayangkan betapa hebat mega structure Melayu lama!
Apabila Melayu dijajah, mereka tiada waktu yang aman lagi untuk membina jong-jong besar. Nak bina kapal sebesar Titanic tu pun makan bertahun. Inikan jong-jong gergasi Melayu yang memerlukan sumber; tenaga dan harta yang banyak.
but Iskandar Muda of Aceh reigned around 1607 till 1636
that is like 100 years after the fall of Malacca
this is more like Indonesia History lesson
Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam - 1496–1903

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghali_(ship)One galley captured by Portuguese in 1629 during Iskandar Muda's reign is very large, and it was reported there were total 47 of them.
She reached 100 m in length and 17 m in breadth, had 3 masts with square sails and topsails, propelled by 35 oars on each side and able to carry 700 men.
It is armed with 98 guns: 18 large cannon (five 55-pounders at the bow, one 25-pounder at the stern, the rest were 17 and 18-pounders), 80 falcons, and many swivel guns. The ship is called "Espanto do Mundo" (terror of the universe), which probably a free translation from Cakradonya (Cakra Dunia).
The Portuguese reported that it was bigger than anything ever built in the Christian world, and that its castle could compete with that of galleons
